REVOLVING CASE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 743,557, dated November 10, 1903.

Application filed. Aprillii,

To all whom it may concern; I

Be it known that I, JOHN POLE, of the city of Winnipeg, Province of Manitoba, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Revolving Oases,'of which the following is a specification.

- The object of my invention is to devise a revolving case in which the weight of each tray is supported directly from the base without pressing on the trays below, so that each tray is entirely independent of the others, and therefore free to move without affecting or being affected by them. I attain this object by journaling each tray on one of a series of flangedsleeves or bushings slipped on a standard secured to a suitable base, each sleeve engaging thosenext to it, but holding the trays isolated from contact with one an- 1 other, substantially as hereinafter more speciflcally described and then definitely claimed.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view ofthe same. Fig. 3 is a vertical section showing the method of supporting the trays on the standard.

In the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding'parts in the difierent figures. y

A is a standard supported by a suitable base 13. This base comprises a foot 0' and the braces D, connected with the arms of the foot and with the sleeve a. The standard passes through the sleeve and into a recess in the foot, being held in position in the sleeve by means of a set-screw b. On the standard is slipped a series of sleeves or bushings E, each provided with a flange c. On these sleeves are supported a series of trays F, each tray being rotatable on the sleeve or bushing and supported by the flange of its own particular sleeve. These trays are preferably double,

as indicated, so that the halves balance one another. I 7

The standard may of course be of any desired height and the trays and bushings of any desired number.

It will be noticed that the trays are completely independent of one another, so that Serial rt. 153,292. (No modeld they do not touch at any part, so that any one of them may be swung forward or backin any way interfere with the free movement of the lower trays; This is an exceedingly important consideration when these trays are used in the printing-office to hold heavy type, slugs, or any matter kept permanently set up.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. In a revolving case the combination of a standard; a series of flanged sleeves or bushings slipped on the standard in contact with one another; and trays journaled on the said sleeves and supported by the flanges out of contact with one another, substantially as described.

2. In a revolving case" the combination of a standard; a series of flanged sleeves or bushings slipped on the standard in contact with one another; and double trays centrally j ournaled on the said sleeves and supported by the flanges out of contact with one another, substantially as described.

3. In a revolving case the combination of a base; a standard; a series of flanged sleeves or bushings slipped on the standard in contact with one another; and double trays centrally journaled on the said sleeves and supported by the flanges out of contact with one another, substantially as described.

4.. In a revolving case the combination of a foot; a sleeve; braces connecting the foot and the sleeve; a standard passing through the sleeve and fitting into a recess in the foot; a series of flanged sleeves or bushings slipped on the standard in contact with one another; and trays jonrnaled on the said sleeve and supported by the flanges out of contact with one another, substantially as described.
